cjrhsk Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I'm wondering why my flame is giving off black smoke once in a while. I know my wick is too large. I'm going to wick down. I also put a little over 3/4 oz. fo in 8 oz. soy wax. Is is burning off fo? So is it because of the wick or the fo, or both, or something else?

Carriegsxr6 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 i think you answered your own question. Too big of wick and too much FO. I never go above 7% fragrance load in my wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinmfritz Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I use 8% and don't get it. What kind of wax & wick are you using? Maybe if you put more details in, you will get better advice from people who use the same. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjrhsk Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks Carrie and Erin,I am using ecosoya 135 and paper 60 wick. The wick worked fine in GW 444 but not this. This is container wax and now I'm trying 767 wick it series. Thanks,Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
